do you think we could sync the pictures using microsoft office 2003? any help from the experts, thanks....
i tried, but couldnt do it, id like to know if u can do it also. i thought active sync 4 might work, but unlucky im afraid.
I think you can only sync pictures from outlook 2003 with WM5.0 and Activesync 4.0 (which is no go for us as WM5.0 is not around for the BA, for us that is).
Could be wrong
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could help confirm something for me. I've been toying with the idea of trying one of these mouth-watering WM6 ROMs, but I don't think my current situation will permit it.
At home I sync to a WinXP SP2 machine running ActiveSync 4.2. On that setup, I sync my calendar and tasks with Outlook 2003 ... should be no problem.
But at work, I have a W2K SP4 machine running Outlook 2000 SP-3. Obviously, I also use AS 4.2 at work, and I sync with my Outlook Calendar and tasks.
If I were to flash up to WM6, from what I have been reading, it seems I would need AS 4.5, which I believe requires Outlook 2003 as a minimum, so if I went with WM6, I would lose the ability to sync at work.
Am I correct in what I have gleaned from these forums and Microsoft's AS Pages? Do I need to petiton my employer for an OS upgrade for the PC at my workstation?
Thanks to anyone who could confirm or deny these observations. And MANY thanks to the fine geniuses who are giving us the cookware and the recipes

You're right. You would have to go to OL2003 if you want to retain the ability to sync at work.
Thank you for the quick reply!
Ahhh, that's what I thought. Too bad I really wanted to try (at least) one of those ROMs. Oh well.
Maybe I could arrange for my office PC to die, so I get a new one. They ARE replacing malfunctioning desktops with WinXP machines running Office 2003.
Nahh ... I'm too honest to do something like that. Maybe if I just ask REALLY nice, they'll agree to upgrade the OS on the machine I'm using.
Anyway, thanks again for the confirmation. I really do appreciate it!

does anyone know how to configure windows mobile 6.0-6.1 to connect with my websites email?i have spent hours trying to find out. other than an exchange server is there a way?
You need to tell us what type of email, it is most likely a POP account, so grab the details from your providers and just add them in one at a time in the accounts panel on your device.
i am new to the 'website' stuff, so i am not sure. I just started it a couple weeks ago. in my outlook on my PC, under accounts, it says MAPI. Outlook on PC connected perfectly, but when i use outlook on hermes, it says i need to put in settings manually.
Okay what you need are basically the following details:
username
password
pop server name
smtp server name
The above details you need to setup a basic mail account however look at your PC outlook account connection and copy those exactly.

Hi James,
Thank you for contacting us at Microsoft Office Live Support regarding your Microsoft Office Live account.

I understand that you want to configure your Microsoft Office Live account on your Windows Mobile version 6, to send and receive emails and you need to incoming and outgoing server information. I comprehend your concern and realize how this is important for you.
I regret update you that with the current version of Microsoft Office Live we do not support synchronization of Microsoft Office Live account on Windows Mobile of any version. This concern is with our Product Development Team and they are working diligently on this.
Alternatively, you cannot synchronize your Microsoft Office Live account with the Windows Mobile, however, you may sign-in to your account and view your emails. Still, there is a condition, that the internet speed and the Windows Mobile settings should match the system requirements of Microsoft Office Live.

lol you dont need to pester M$ about this it sounds like they didnt understand the issue anyway.
First thing to do is to take a look at the settings under your account in outlook (on your PC).
As the post said above you need the username, password and the incoming/outgoing server addresses.
on your device go into messaging>menu>options>New Account....
fill in the details it requests and also how often you wish it to check for new mail. Its a pretty simple process dude
the problem is i dont know incoming/outgoing server. IT IS NOT IN MY SETTINGS. If i double click my account settings, it gives me the 'outlook connector'. the ONLY info under settings for this account is under 'type' it says 'MAPI'. there are NO other settings, no way to see incoming outgoing server addresses. This is a Microsoft hosted website, hence their reference of my "Microsoft Office Live account". so it connects with outlook connector. WHICH i cannot get for WM6. please if YOU don't understand the problem don't flame for me being ignorant.
hahahha......hahaha, way too funny.
anyway, i've never heard of this office live mail thingy, so i did a little looking around about it on google, interesting stuff. all i can suggest is to use windows live and try and see if you can sign in and sync ur email with that, cause i suspect that this office live thingy has to be somehow related to windows live.
Mate people are trying to help you not flame you. I can see this is frustrating you so what you need to do is get the details from your provider. Who are they? If you put your providers name down somebody might be up to the challenge to working this out for you OR maybe even have the same provider thus can assist you.
You just need to gather some information then people can make a better and informed decision about what you should do.
MICROSOFT is my PROVIDER......
hence the microsoft office live.....
I believe I have stated this more than once.
and I can log into my mail server using the internet, but I need it to update automatically. And I cant do that with outlook in WM6. It is a situation that would take someone 'in the know', maybe someone who has had this exact problem, and figured a way around it. If someone is smart enough to figure it out, that would be swell too. But most likely it will need to be someone who has faced this problem on their website, and figured a way around it.
To learn more about my 'provider' plz see http://www.officelive.com/
Let's get something clear, you have Microsoft Live account (Hotmail), and you want to make it download emails automatically? If that is the case go back to your Outlook and then go to setting to set the "Sync Option" it is on manual so set it to something you want.

I have a live Office Basics account with a web page and 3 e-mail adddresses and have not been able to get my phone's Live messenger to receive or send my e-mails. When Live Office first came out, You were able too send and recieve e-mails with your phone, but they changed servers and is a NoGo as of right now. I am 99% sure with Windows Mobile 7, they will integrate it.
ugh... figures
Hey guys. For the past couple of months ive been trying to find a solution to this problem and its been driving me absolutely crazy. I have my email @msn.com and its been there for the past 8 years. It would be EXTREMELY inconvenient to change it to somewhere else. Well anyway, i want to be able to check my email from my phone, and be notified when a new message comes in. So i tried to set it up using the Mobile outlook, but apparently msn email isnt compatible with it(which i find to be one of the stupidest things ever). So then i thought to forward all my msn email to a gmail account or something, but msn only allows you to forward email to another msn or hotmail account. So then i found the Windows Mobile Live program, which i gotta say sucks to all hell, but apparently works with msn email so i thought id give it a try. Turns out though that my internet connection (the tmobile proxy hack which only allows me to use port 8080) doesnt work, and theres no way to change the port for Mobile Live. I was hoping someone out there might have a solution or an idea. Thanks in advance.

thats not a program, but a webpage through pocket IE. The problem with that, besides the fact that it sucks, is that it wont automatically download new messages and give alerts. i was hoping for a program based kind of thing. thanks anyway though
I am thinking of switching to this phone. I will be comming from a palm centro. My question is do I have to use outlook to sync? I have vista 64 but dont have outlook. Is there a program (non web based) like palm desktop I could use to sync?
Thanks in advance
Dug13
P.S. I allready love this forum and dont even have the phone yet.
Welcome, dug13.
I think this question has already been asked, but never mind. I have tried it myself, I wanted some software that could run on Linux. Have a look at:
1. Finchsync. I managed to sync my Universal with Thunderbird and Lightning (both on Win XP), but thats been some time ago. Don't know if this still exists.
2. Funambol. Is a server of its own, managed to sync with Evolution (Linux), but I read a few reports about sync only working one way/only sometimes etc.
I ended up without sync, I use PIMbackup for... well, backup! and have my phone contacts on my device and my mail contacts on my laptop. Hard times for Linux users...
My 2ct, Gby.
hmmm
Thanks for the quick reply.I dont have or know anything about linux but thank you for the refrences. I dont want to spend the money for outlook so i guess no deals. I thought i heard u could use windows live?
I just want to sync the cal. contacts, memos or notes ect.
Vista 64 does not come with Outlook Express?
I think it's a free download from Windows Live, on Windows 7 a lot of stuff is missing and you get it free from Windows Live.
Outlook has never been needed to synch.
Now if you wanted to synch email you can just use gmail or similar and not need to synch e-mail.(it allready set up on phone just enterd user pass on mine Ta-Daa!)
